Hayabusa Lakester For Sale or Trade

[Tom Liberatore]

The Pepperoni Bros. are in a bit of an ergonomic pickle, after a few months of trying, Brother Steve cannot get in the drivers seat and he is our designated driver. When we first checked out the car I hopped right in but he did have some trouble, we didn't think it was a big issue, especially with the adjustable seat bottom and pedal assembly. Now, it is apparent that we have an unworkable situation and the best solution would be to find a car with a more upright seat. Also, truth be told, this is probably a little too much car for us.

What size person will fit. Might help with the sale of the car.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Yeah, Tom -- if your DD didn't fit -- was it because he was too wide or too tall?  I'm about as narrow as they come, but somehow I don't know if all 75" or whatever of me would be able to fold into the car.  Or maybe the new driver will have to be triple-jointed so he/she can make a few extra folds.

Steve and I are about the same height and weight 5'9" and 180lbs. but built completely different, he has a long torso that doesn't seem to bend much in the middle. Many different sized people have sat in the car without a problem, the cockpit is roomy, the seat bottom adjustable for drivers of different heights and the pedal assembly has at least 2-3" of travel if not more.

Maybe that Midget guy from Milwaukee would fit.

[tauruck]

Maybe the South African ex F2 driver at 5'7" would fit. I'd drive for you for food and a dry sleeping area.

That's what I do, it totally changed my ability to deal with my MS!

[Milwaukee Midget]

Well, I had constraints dictated by a production based design, but here's how I look at it -

I'm only driving 3 miles.

If I had to do 25 laps at Road America, okay, I'll take the padded seat and the taller roll cage.

But at Bonneville, you're driving in a straight line for two minutes.

I suck it up, with the understanding that the faster I go, the sooner I get to get out.  And as I get older, and a little more rickety, that's a strong incentive to go faster.

What is the wheelbase of the car?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Tom, Fred is acting like he might be nibbling at your bait.  Go get 'im -- he's had enough fun on two wheels and oughta try four, right?
